Camera device

Abstract

A camera device includes two independent housings and a connecting component. Each of the housing includes an encircled portion and an engaging portion. The encircled portion is disposed on an edge of the each housing, and an opening is formed on an encircled area of the encircled portion. The engaging portion is disposed on an outer surface of the encircled portion. The two encircled portions contact against each other to connect the two openings. The connecting component is movably disposed on the first encircled portion and the second encircled portion to assemble the first housing with the second housing. A second engaging portion of the connecting component is disposed on a side of the connecting component to engage with the first engaging portion. A second contacting portion of the connecting component is disposed on the other side of the connecting component to contact against the first contacting portion.

 a second encircled portion disposed on an edge of the second housing, a second opening being formed on an encircled area of the second encircled portion, and the second encircled portion contacting against the first encircled portion to connect the first opening and the second opening; and 
 a first contacting portion disposed on an outer surface of the second encircled portion; and 
   a connecting component movably disposed on the first encircled portion and the second encircled portion to assemble the first housing with the second housing, the connecting component comprising:
 a second engaging portion disposed on a side of the connecting component to engage with the first engaging portion; and 
 a second contacting portion disposed on the other side of the connecting component to contact against the first contacting portion since the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are engaged. 
   
     
     
         2 . The camera device of  claim 1 , wherein the camera device further comprises a lens module and a detachable component respectively disposed inside the first housing and the second housing. 
     
     
         3 . The camera device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a waterproof component disposed between the first encircled portion and the second encircled portion, the waterproof component being adapted to simultaneously contact against the first encircled portion and the second encircled portion in a resiliently deformable manner.   
     
     
         4 . The camera device of  claim 1 , wherein the first encircled portion, the second encircled portion and the connecting component are annular structures, the second engaging portion is rotatably engaged with the first engaging portion so as to press the second contacting portion on the first contacting portion. 
     
     
         5 . The camera device of  claim 4 , wherein the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are thread structures or protrusions. 
     
     
         6 . The camera device of  claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the second encircled portion comprises a first area and a second area, the first contacting portion is disposed on the first area, the second contacting portion slidably moves within the second area since the connecting component is assembled with the second housing. 
     
     
         7 . The camera device of  claim 6 , wherein the first contacting portion and the second contacting portion are thread structures. 
     
     
         8 . The camera device of  claim 1 , wherein the first engaging portion, the first contacting portion, the second engaging portion and the second contacting portion are inclined structures. 
     
     
         9 . The camera device of  claim 8 , wherein the connecting component further comprises:
 two locking hole portions respectively disposed on ends of the connecting component; and   a locking portion passing through the two locking hole portions to press the second engaging portion on the first engaging portion, and to press the second contacting portion on the first contacting portion.   
     
     
         10 . The camera device of  claim 1 , wherein the first housing further comprises a main body whereon the first encircled portion is disposed, a diameter of the first encircled portion is smaller than a diameter of the main body, and a thickness of the connecting component is substantially equal to diameter difference between the first encircled portion and the main body. 
     
     
         11 . The camera device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a transparent component disposed on the other edge of the first housing opposite to the first encircled portion in a hermetically sealed manner.   
     
     
         12 . The camera device of  claim 2 , wherein a base of the lens module is fixed on the edge of the first housing to seal the first opening. 
     
     
         13 . The camera device of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a moisture-proof component disposed between the base and the first housing.   
     
     
         14 . The camera device of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a fixing component engaged with an inner surface of the first encircled portion to press the base on the first housing.   
     
     
         15 . The camera device of  claim 14 , wherein the fixing component is an annular structure, the fixing component is rotatably engaged with the inner surface of the first encircled portion via thread structures. 
     
     
         16 . The camera device of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a moisture-absorbing component disposed on the base of the lens module.   
     
     
         17 . The camera device of  claim 12 , wherein a hole is formed on the base of the lens module, the lens module comprises a connector and a watertight component, the connector passes through the hole to connect with a terminal of the detachable component, and the watertight component is disposed between the hole and the connector. 
     
     
         18 . The camera device of  claim 17 , wherein the connector of the lens module is a board-to-board connector.
